I'll try to be brief.
Haven't picked up my Savage 7mag since last year. I had three rounds in the removeable clip (stored separately). Put the clip in and all three rounds fired perfect (within 4 inches of each other).
Went to load the clip again and the spring worked but would not click into lower position when I loaded the rounds.
So I loaded them manually into the chamber and let the bolt push them in.
Fisrt shot was a hangfire. Next two the casings were either bulged or bulged/split when fired.
Gun is only 4 y/o and haven't ran more than 4 boxes of ammo through it.
I shoot Rem Core-locked ammo. What I was shooting today was bought last year about this time.
I shoot Rem Core-lokt ammo. The bulge/split are near the bottom at the belt (I believe it's called).
Is this an ammo problem or chamber problem????
I really don't want to shoot this gun again until I get the problems solved.

How did the bolt feel when locking it in place with the damaged rounds???
I would contact Remington immediately with the batch & run #'s and tell them what is going on.

Almost sounds like the hangfire round didn't get enough powder and the next ones got too much.

Looks like 270 or 30-06 brass on the right.

I would suspect the .270, I doubt the 06 would go down the pipe.
